After yesterday’s Remembrance day, we thought we’d share with you the final images taken from Tower of London, it marks the end of the First World War and honors the commonwealth armed forces who have died in the line of duty. As a symbol of this sacrifice and service, artist Paul Cummins and stage designer Tom Piper have infilled the famous dry moat at the Tower of London with 888,246 ceramic poppies, spilling out from a window onto the vast grassy expanse that divides the historic site from the city centre. Since August the ‘Blood swept lands and seas of red‘ has continued to progressively spread throughout the space, with individually red-hued flowers installed in the landscape by a team of over 8,000 volunteers, each one representing a British military fatality during the war. We also wanted to share the video made about the creation of each individual poppy by a team here in the UK, who undertook this gigantic task.
